I was waiting for this since last year. I was told that it might arrive at the earliest in spring of 2023.

Well, surprise, surprise! I received an email in late September informing me that my Lune 42mm would arrive in early October.

I was thrilled that it was actually happening so soon.

Today I went and picked up my Octa Lune 42mm, choosing a strap, and smiling the entire time. I am still smiling as I write this.

I am not sure if I will be able to acquire others, but wearing only just one of these beautifully mastered pieces of horological artistry by FP Journe

adds a new demension to my watch hobby and collection. Thanks to all at at FP Journe, from the top, FP Journe himself, and all the others who made this possible.

I hope to enjoy wearing this for a long, long time.
